Ipod now charging, but still not showing in windows

Hi people,
I left a post a few days ago, when my computer would not even let the shuffle charge
however,
now the shuffle is charging and playing music, but windows or itunes still wont recognize it, so i cant try the disk manager approach or the ipod updater approach either!
someone help!
thanks

If you are really using WindowsME it will never work in iTunes, you'll have to use 3rd party software such as Xplay or Winamp. As far as it appearing in Windows, be sure you are using a rear port on your computer and no other USB peripherals are conflicting with it. You migh also try using a short USB extension cable or port extender to get a better fit if your USB ports are spaced closely together.

  • My ipod will charge but does not show in itunes or windows

    I tried to use my ipod as a disk to transfer my itunes library from my desktop to my notebook (both Dell), now my ipod charges, but does not show up in itunes or on either of my computers. I have used the advice of going to control panel and unchecking the box under power management but that didn't work, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PLLLEEEEAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEE HELP ME?
    I have windows xp on one and vista on the other, if that helps.

    This worked for me, don't know if it will for you. Have ITunes open. While IPod is connected to computer press(at the same time) the menu and center buttons until your screen goes black and shows the apple icon then immediately press the forward button. Your IPod should show up. It won't hurt to try it, even if it doesn't work. Hope this is of some help to you.

  • Ipod Touch charging but still not visible on iMac

    Hi all,
    first post here and looking for some wisdom.
    I have an [I]iPod Touch[/I] that I have used with my [I]PC[/I] with no issues.
    I now have an nice new shiny [I]iMac[/I] and want to play music as I work.
    The problem is that when I plug my [I]iPod Touch[/I] into the [I]Mac[/I] it charges but is not seen by itunes.
    [LIST=1]
    [*]I have uninstalled itunes on the mac, reinstalled the latest version (V10).
    [*]I have rebooted my iPod touch.
    [*]I have changed cables and ports.
    [/LIST]
    Still no luck.
    I don't want to sync it with the mac...yet ( in the process of decommissioning my PC. ), I just want to play music via my mac!
    I have done a fair but of searching and everything points to the fact that this should not be a problem, but alas I can't see my itouch on the mac.
    I have the itouch set to manually manage.
    Any advice or help is appreciated.

  • When I connect my ipod to 2 different Mac computers, it will charge but is not showing up in itunes for sync. What happened?

    When I connect my ipod to 2 different Mac computers, it will charge but is not showing up in itunes for sync. What happened?

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your Mac? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the Mac?

  • Ipod will charge, but is not found

    Hello, I have had my Ipod Mini since march of this year(2005) and it has been working great up until about a few months ago. My Ipod will charge but is not recognized on the computer, and I have tried it in every one of my USB 2.0 slots(10 of them).
    When it is recognized sometimes it will update the songs onto my Ipod and then it will just disappear from my computer, like its not connected, but it will still charge. What I want is for when I open "My Computer" it will show that a Ipod is connected and I can open if from there. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be welcomed. And yes, I have tried every one of the support things on the site and in my Ipod booklet.

    Ive restarted my computer many times and its still the same, it only works about 15% fo the time, and when it does rihgt when it finishes updating it will act like its not there anymore.

    I bough a 4g Ipod nano 2nd gen for my cousins birthday.  When i plug it into my computer it charges but does not show up in windows or itunes.  I tried reseting it, reinstalling itunes, everything the site said but it didn't help. I am trying to sync songs to it for my cousin, but it won't work with it not connecting.  Could the wire have something to do with it or is there a bigger problem here?

  • IPod nano charges but is not recognized

    Good morning.
    Im writing this topic, because I saw all the topics about this same problem, and none of them solved mine. I hope you can help me on this, so here is the thing:
    When I connect my iPod to the 2.0 usb port, the ipod lights its screen, charges, but neither windows or iTunes recognizes it.
    Ive tried going to:
    1. Going to control painel
    2. Double clicking System icon
    3. Hardware < Manager of Dispositives < Universal USB thing
    When Im there, I disabled the options at USB ROOT HUB on "Computer can turn it of dispositive to minimize waste of energy", as I have read on the other article to do, but it didnt help.
    Here is something that Ive tried everything to understand, but I cant: In the same place (Hardware - System - Control Painel), when the iPod is connected at the computer, my ipod appears on that list! But it comes with an Exclamation Point right next to its name, and it says that it needs an software to make it useful.
    The real message is:
    The drivers for this dispositive are not installed.(Code 28)
    To reinstall the drivers of this dispositive, click at 'Reinstall Driver'.

    Did you ever find a solution for your problem. It is exactly the same as mine and I'm so frustrated with all the problems after spending so much money for something that is supposed to be fun.
    I too have done everything suggested and still no answer. My computer will not install the driver or recognize the ipod exists.
    If you did find an answer, please email me with anything you think may help.

  • IPod cord charges, but won't show in iTunes.

    I'm having a really weird problem with my iPod. I'm not sure if the cord is broken or the data terminal on the iPod is. When I plug my iPod into my computer it doesn't charge or show up in iTunes, but if I push at the cord upwards it'll charge, but never show in iTunes. If I push at it and hold it up it'll show in iTunes and charge as well. This happened suddenly. I never dropped the iPod nor had the cord bent at a strange angle before this. Tell me what I should do?

  • My iPhone was at 63% then suddenly died, it say its charging but still not turn on, what do I do??

    I have tried everything and cannot get it to turn on, it comes up with the red battery icon saying its charging. But still nothing! Help!!

    Do not attempt to force it to start after it has shutdown due to low charge.  Fully charge before using it again.  If it will not charge, try a different outlet, a different charger and cable, and if it still does not charge, take it to an Apple store genius bar for testing by the technicians.

  • My ipad will not sync with all my music and films in my itunes library. I have just carried out a restart and sync again but still not showing all my music or films.

    My ipad will not sync with my library in itunes, i have music and films in my itunes library but they will not transfer to my ipad. I have just carried out a restart to factory settings and then sync of my back up but still no joy. Any suggestions?

    Have you selected the content to sync to your iPad in your sync settings in iTunes. The content that you want to transfer must be selected (checked or "ticked") to sync out will not transfer when you sync.
    For instance - if you want to sync music....
    Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    This applies to all content that you want to transfer from iTunes to your iPad. Make the selections in the appropriate tabs in the iTunes window on the right.

  • Music is on my iPod touch 1G but does not show up in the Music App

    Been having this problem the last week. I synced my iPod before I went to bed, grabbed it and headed off to work on Tuesday. Once I got to work I went to use my iPod and when I opened the Music App a screen popped up saying "Updating Library...This may take a few minutes". I didn't think much about that as I have seen it a number of times after I synced quite a bit of new music or podcasts(the night before I had 3 new hour long podcasts that synced).
    Set my iPod to the side as that usually does take a minute, turned back and the screen said "No Content" and then some line about buying music in iTunes. I was quite surprised as I had never seen this screen before. I turned my iPod off and back on and the same No Content message.
    I checked my Photos App and those were still there and so were all my saved photos that don't sync. Checked some of my other apps and the settings and saved data was all there too.
    Finally got the idea to check the About option in the Settings. Knowing that it would list how many songs and how much space was free. Opened that up and it said 0 songs but that I only had 1.4GBs of free space. Which tells me that my music is on the iPod but just isn't being recognized.
    Got home that night and synced it and once done I checked it and my music was there. Friday this all happened again and I have not been able to get my music to show up again even though my iPod tells that I have 12GBs of something on there going by what the About page tells me.
    The only change I have made is I finally updated from just Itunes 10.0.X to 10.1.4 on 12/20 of last year. I have a iPod touch 1G that is running 3.1.3.
    Last night I did a restore and created a whole new iPod but the same issue has happened. I watched it sync my ~2800 songs but when I went to check them, No Content but the About page tells me there is 12GBs of space being used. Right now I am going to a back from from June of last year to see if that works but I doubt it. I also have an old install of iTunes 10.0.1 that I think I might try.
    What else could be the problem?

    Which version of iTunes are you using?
